Tasting

Overall : Originating from a geological formation similar to the famous Bessards slopes in Hermitage, this Saint-Joseph has all the finess of the appellation and the strength of its neighbour accross the river.

Our comment

This wine originates from a monopoly of the best terroirs adjoining what were previously the Jean-Louis GRIPPAT and VALLOUIT estates.
This is a unique expression of the most impressive and exclusive slopes of the Saint-Joseph appellation.

The 2014 St Joseph Vignes des Hospice is scheduled to be bottled in January and it’s a more granite-influenced wine that offers lots of minerality as well as a sexy, textured mouthfeel, notes of black raspberry, currants, crushed flowers, cured meats and sweet tannin, with its oak component pushed far into the background. Give bottles a year or two and enjoy over the following decade. Jeb Dunnuck.
